The reason I believe this, is that you believe a device that just enforces the law is a safety device. An airbag, a seat belt etc etc… are safety devices. They do not enforce the law, they help to protect you.
How does a speed camera stop a driver driving at an excessive speed(within or above the legal limit)?
How does a speed camera stop a joyrider, as he/she drives past one?
They don’t, all they do is ensure compliance with the law for a short stretch of road .
Answer my questions (Aboce and below).
. How can they be "safety devices” when they do not stop dangerous behaviour?
The whole point of a safety device is to minimise the danger presented to you by something, which is hazardous.
A Speed camera measures speed, it does and can not measure safety. All a speed camera does is detect if a car is exceeding a legal limit. It does not detect and prevent dangerous behaviour (below the limit).
Assume no broke the speed limits, how would these devices detect dangerous behaviour? How would they continue to make the roads safe?
Don’t say if we stayed within the limits there would be no accidents, because then I would call you a liar.
I am not a criminal nor do I condone criminal acts
The cameras are safety devices as they stop the dangerous behaviour known as SPEEDING. Whay don't you consider speeding to be dangerous? You don't consider speeding to be dangerous, therefore you support speeding, therefore you supprot criminals.
If no-one broke speed limits there would be no need for these cameras - PLEASE try to understand this concept - I know it's too cpmplicted for pro-speeders, but have a go
